Thank you for 1.2.0 release! Could you please make it clear that matplotlib requires python.org-Python sourceforge.net-NumPy? Telling about it during installation would be great.
I've lost an hour trying to figure out why matplotlib installer [1] doesn't let me choose my system HD, saying "matplotlib requires System Python 2.7 to install". Figuring out the correct NumPy version was also confusing. First I made a mistake by install numpy via system `easy_install`: $ easy_install numpy Ooops, wrong numpy. Let's download and install official NumPy [2]: $ /usr/local/bin/python -c "import pylab" RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 6 but this version of numpy is 4 ... ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import Hmm, it still tries to use wrong numpy. Let's remove it: $ /usr/local/bin/python -c "import numpy; print numpy.__file__" /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy/__init__.py $ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy Hooray: $ /usr/local/bin/python -c "import pylab" [1]: https://github.com/downloads/matplotlib/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.2.0-py2.7-python.org-macosx10.6.dmg [2]: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.6.2/numpy-1.6.2-py2.7-python.org-macosx10.6.dmg/download -- Alexey On Fri, Nov 9, 2012 at 4:57 AM, Michael Droettboom <md...@stsci.edu> wrote: > After months of hard work by a veritable army of contributors, I'm pleased > to announce the release of matplotlib 1.2.0. > > This is the first time we've released without the assistance of John Hunter, > who is sorely missed.
